Chinese
Premier's Naked Parade

At China's 12th National People's Congress
Conference which started yesterday, out going premier Wen
Jiabao delivered his last annual report, bluffing the monumental
achievements his government has accomplished. However, his
self-congratulation is greeted with ridicule and his delivery
of the report is described by Chinese public as emperor's
naked parade. The following are some typical comments we
collected online:

Wen Jiabao beats housing price hike

矮的猥琐-复活: 他，最懂幽默，报告的每一句话，听起来都像笑话。还是一个童话作家，将政府工作报告，写成了最牛逼的童话故事。

Wen Jiabao is no doubt a comedy maestro.
Every line in his report sounds like a great joke. He is
also a master fantasy novelist who can turn real life tragedy
into a tall fairytale.

Wen Jiabao: In the past five years, the trend of housing
price hike has been brought under control.

Reality: In 2007, the average price of a second-hand dwelling
was 8,900 RMB/SQM; five years later in 2012, it jumped to
26,000 RMB/SQM, which is more than 300% of increase. All
over the country the housing price keeps hiking for nine
consecutive months so far!

Either he is a liar or we are all blind.

Wen Jiabao bows
out of China's political stage

青蛤蜊：这话他敢说我都不好意思听，脸皮比城墙还厚！！！

I feel so embarrassed to listen to that prank. It appears
his hypocrisy knows no bounds.

股游天涯：见过不要脸的，没见过这么不要脸的.

I've met someone in my life who could be extremely unscrupulous,
but never seen anything quite like this.

观澜漪：历史上的笑柄！

He will go down history as a piece of laughingstock for
sure!

天喝咖啡：吹个牛皮、讲个笑话你也有意见?不和谐了吧!

You guys are so critical. He just tried to tell a funny
joke to entertain everybody.

But the link between the backstage and the front stage has been
established. Out gong Wen Jiabao and in coming Li Keqiang share
the same political and economic believes
and views as their consultant and mentor Li
Yining.

Some of Li Yining's famous (or infamous ) quotes:

"Is the wealth gap between
rich and poor in
China too big? Certainly not, in fact, it’s still not big enough.
Only when we further increase the gap, socioeconomic advancement
of the nation can then be achieved."

"If national assets were a
bowl of rice, we should spit on it."

"In order for the economic
reform to succeed, we have no choice but to sacrifice an entire
generation, that is 30 million old workers."

"800 million peasants and
redundant workers are China’s huge assets, since their consistent
presence under the current condition is necessary for the happy
lives of the rich few."

"China is in the middle phase
of the development. We’ll have to go through the heavy industry
stage, during which the pollution
to the environment is unavoidable. But so what, we’ve gained
the economic benefits."

"I call for the full abolition
of old-age pensions, unemployment benefits, compensations for
work-related injuries and all other welfare payments, that's
the way to make people stick to their jobs."
